The 32 things we learned from Week 16 of the 2025 NFL season:
0. The number of division titles clinched though 16 weeks in the AFC. This year’s playoff chase may not be the most compelling in terms of the number of teams that are still relevant – which is just 18 of the league’s 32 clubs going into Week 17 – but very little has been sorted out among those jockeying for seeding and home playoff games.
1. The number of division titles clinched though 16 weeks in the NFC – the Philadelphia Eagles doing the honors Saturday by beating the Washington Commanders and becoming the first squad to capture the NFC East in successive years since Philly did it in 2003 and ’04.
2. The number of points the Seattle Seahawks scored on their final play Thursday night – making them first team ever to win an overtime game on a two-point conversion. Also, the number of points they scored when officials awarded them two on an earlier conversion when QB Sam Darnold’s lateral was deflected into the end zone and nonchalantly picked up by RB Zach Charbonnet.
3. Let’s appreciate the three-pronged accomplishment of New Orleans Saints jack-of-all-trades Taysom Hill. Sunday, he became the first player in the Super Bowl era (since 1966) with more than 1,000 career yards passing, 1,000 career yards rushing and 1,000 career yards receiving.
